Okay, I executed the command
python -c 'import tempfile; print tempfile.mkdtemp("-meld")'
then I added the following 2 lines to misc.py just before line 244:
print tempfile.mkdtemp("-meld")
print command
To my surprise, the problem did not repro. It printed
/tmp/tmp8Tx0aV-meld
['patch', '-p0', '-R', '-d', '/tmp/tmpcfanD4-meld']
and displayed the diff as expected. I then removed the two lines that I
had added, and it continued to work properly, so I think it was the
mkdtemp command that fixed it. Meld also works properly now with my
other repositories, where I originally discovered the issue. So, now I
can no longer repro the problem either. I do not understand why making a
temporary dir would fix anything. I hope this means more to you than it
does to me.
Thanks for your help!
